Our Chaverim (Friends) campers entering grades 1-3 enjoy not just our incredible 32-acre campus, but participate in weekly field trips to local, age-appropriate
destinations. Campers also receive swim lessons through the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program, and participate in counselor-led, customized activities each week (our camper-to-staff ratio is 7 to 1)!
For our campers entering grades 4-5, Camp JCC provides increased autonomy over weekly activities. Our Yeladim (Children) campers have the opportunity to select clubs that best align with their personal interests, while still enjoying swim lessons through the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program, and spending time with friends throughout the day. Yeladim also travels weekly to popular area destinations.
A unit just for Na’arim (Youth) entering grades 6-8. We recognize that our middle-school campers want more variety of their camp activities and the opportunity to bond with their peers. In addition to weekly field trips to popular area destinations, our campers in Na’arim will have autonomy over their weekly activities. With self-directed free time, Na’arim will
enjoy a Camp JCC experience tailored just for them.
